Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is an annual event that takes place each year during the first full week of May. This national event is coordinated by Public Safety Canada, in close collaboration with the provinces and territories and partners.

We also encourage you to download the Alberta Emergency Alert app so you can get emergency alerts directly to your phone. By signing up to receive this information directly, you will be better informed about potential risks to your health, safety or community.
